What is Buccal Fat Removal?
Buccal fat removal is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to refine the contours of the face by removing excess fat pads from the cheeks. This treatment is ideal for individuals with fuller, rounder facial features who desire a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. Performed under the highest Swiss medical standards, this procedure ensures both safety and precision for long-lasting results.
The buccal fat pads are located deep within the cheeks, and their removal can enhance the definition of the cheekbones and jawline. This minimally invasive treatment has gained popularity among those looking to achieve a more youthful, streamlined facial profile.
How Buccal Fat Removal Works
The procedure involves small incisions made inside the mouth, which allows the surgeon to access and carefully remove the buccal fat pads. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures, leaving no visible scars. The entire process is typically completed within 45 to 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
Who Is a Good Candidate
Buccal fat removal is suitable for healthy individuals who are non-smokers and have a stable weight. It is particularly beneficial for those with genetically fuller cheeks or a rounder facial appearance. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be seeking subtle, natural-looking enhancements.

Klinik für Aesthetische Chirurgie
"Surgery with Dr. Gohla and Dr. Enzler: Deep-plane face and neck lift + rhinoplasty + removal of under-eye bags + lower eyelid lift (twilight sedation) From the initial consultation to the follow-up care, everything was perfect. During the consultation, my wishes were taken into account, I was well-informed, and realistic expectations were conveyed. The team was extremely friendly and professional; I felt well cared for at all times. The recovery process was relatively painless, and I felt very well looked after during the follow-up appointments as well. I am overjoyed with the result; my nose fits my face perfectly, my under-eye bags are gone, and my face and neck look fresh and simply fantastic! A huge thank you to Dr. Gohla and Dr. Enzler and the entire team at the Biel Aesthetic Surgery Clinic. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic."
